I purchased one of these a while back and only recently got a chance to try it out. No matter what Micro SD card I put in it thinks for a while and then says "Card Error" followed by "Please plug out card". I read one review on Amazon that said you can't use a Micro SDHC card, it must be Micro SD. My understanding is that the cutoff is 2GB. Anything below is Micro SD, up to 32GB is Micro SDHC, and above is Micro SDXC. The specs say it works with cards up to 32GB, so that would mean mine should work, but they don't. My friend also got one and it has the same issue with a brand new card he bought with it. What gives? Do they need to be formatted in a certain way? Someone please help, I have a paperweight that isn't even heavy enough to be used as a paperweight! I purchased one of these a while back and only recently got a chance to try it out.

I also purchased multiple cameras. All the guys in my house (husband & two sons) are using SanDisk Ultra 16 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter that I purchased here on Amazaon.

I have bought two if these Fear Pro cameras, one for each of my sons. They have worked great using a Sandisk 16GB micro SDHC in each with no errors and great results

I have SDHC, 4&8GB cards in them. I don't know what the difference is between the SDHC or the plain SD card is, that just happens to be what I ordered. The cards are so easy to get to that I just open it up, shut the cam off, take out one card and put another one in, turn the cam back on, shut the door and I'm done, about 30 seconds. Hope this helps you, take care, Ed.

I don't have any micro SDHC cards to try, and I don't know whether there could be any issues linked to card capacity, but looking at the item, it does have a slot marked micro SDHC. There was no printed material with technical specifications.

Buy the used one from Amazon Warehouse Deals. They are returns, but some or perfect, that is how I got mine, a lot cheaper, Mine is perfect. X5 is the best, has two card slots. It supports 128gb micro sd per slot.

What class type of sd are you using? It needs to be at least class 4 or better. The class is labeled on the card itself. The higher the number the better. Most likely it is the correct class unless you bought them at the swap meet or someting but check anyway. Other then that, the problem would be the camera. Just my opinion.

In case anyone reads this.... I am using this camera with a 64gb Compact Flash card with no problems. (Transcend) I have not tried with a 64gb SDHC card. However, I am using a 32gb SDHC card in at the same time with no problems.

I Have this item since 2005 and worked perfectly until I used a 4gb Kingston sd... I have used it with many brands and sizes up to 2gb, but when I used it with the 4gb I mention, it fail to work, but for me, works with everything 2gb and under. Dont buy it if you will use with bigger cards, look for a newer version or another brand.

I was a bit confused about the SD versus micro SD thing when I ordered also.Turns out, its both. Apparently an SD card can be used as is, if that's what your gadget takes. But if you want the micro SD you just pop it out of the SD.It is actually INSIDE the SD card!

The size of the card (8,16,32,64g ect) shouldn't make a difference. I think mine was 64g. Like many of the reviews the first couple times I plugged it it nothing happened. But with a little persistence it eventually wiggled in the sweet spot and fired right up. The physical size of the card is the only thing that should matter, if it is a micro SD you will need the adapter to make it fit in the slot, but any regular SD should be fine.

I am using a micro SD with no problem. I know this sounds silly, but... have you checked that you are inserting the card the right way? Good luck

If the micro SD card does not click into place and feels loose, you more than likely missed the slot. I also did this the first time I attempted to put a card in. I used a flashlight to look into the slot and verify it was going in correctly.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

I bought this one for my son, this is our conversation:It does have a slot for a micro sd card. The same one that is in my phone. did you get a book about how big of a sd card it will take in GBSyesWell that one is two..but most of the time they will hold more, they just send a smaller one with the players.I remember the book had that in it. Let me go double check, because it may take up to 10 I do not know for sure.There is a disk the comes with it so you can put drivers for the videos on there.It did not come with it, not that I could see. I used the one from my phone.how many gbs will it holdI could not find in the book the memory capacity of the external card that it can hold.

I think the confusion is whether this is a SD card or micro SD card. the description says it's a micro SD card, but the image is a regular size SD card. This is probably why not many people have bought it. If the seller can clarify and change the listing, it will be very helpful.

I had the same problem. I found out that I needed a 1 gig card and had bought one that had too many gig. I tried the 1 gig and it worked just fine. Good luck with it.

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.
